"The Sanctuary" launch!

CrossLeft community,

Tomorrow the Chicago Tribune will be interviewing a few of the founders of the Sanctuary in anticipation of a larger scale launch.

The Sanctuary (http://thesanctuary.soapblox.net/) is an online community that is pro-migrant, pro-humanity and pro-social justice. It is a safe space for organizing, sharing information and stories and discussing this issue which is crucial to us as a nation and a world.

This space has been created from the grassroots by a handful of volunteers who have been working on the concept since last year. I feel honored to be among this group as I believe that this space will truly make a difference in the immigration debate in the days, weeks, months and years to come. I write you this note to invite you to be one of the voices speaking on behalf of change.

Please note that the site is still in beta and there are still bugs being worked on. The success of this initiative will come from the passion of the community that is built thus I wanted to invite you to join in the conversation from the start. Please stop on by, sign up now and begin posting your own diaries.

In addition to the editors reaching out to our own communities, we will be sending blasts to other e-mail lists and launching this through several channels of the media. As the word gets out, we know that with the positive voices so too will come the voices of hate and ignorance. Your passion and commitment to love and justice as progressive people of faith is needed. I hope to see several members of the CrossLeft community over there.

In faith,
Kety
